Mine were kind of high, I think a lot related to living in a fragile ecosystem in the middle of nowhere. We also don't have a lot of locally grown, organic produce to purchase.

The only category that was barely above the country average was housing. I would say that I feel that it is pretty accurate, I'm not a total green person, but I try to do better than the average American.

As a side note I think the units are in acres, not percentages which is how our totals are over 100. It says: "MY FOOTPRINT IN GLOBAL ACRES BY CONSUMPTION CATEGORY"

Carbon is worst, probably because we drive alot of places on weekends to visit family. DH and I both have to commute kinda far to work, but we live smack in the middle of where we are both employed, so there isn't really a better way! Some of the other stuff doesn't really apply to us either... we don't own our home, so we can't just go replacing everything with energy efficient stuff, and I don't think the condo association would appreciate us starting a composting pile on our front porch lol. Overall, not too bad though.
